YOUR LIFE

Personal passions

Favorite travel spots

Costa Rica, Brazil, Amalfi Coast of Italy, South Africa – I have been able to visit so many amazing places. Each one has its own magic!

Your dream job as a kid

I wanted to be a singer, because I used to write songs and poems growing up. Also my dad plays guitar, I used to sing with him all the time, and that would inspire me!

One encounter that changed your life

I met this model scouter at a Halloween party in Miami, and he brought me to New York City to sign with a modeling agency here.

Your indulgence

Sometimes we all need some Shake Shack.

How you stay in shape

I eat a balanced diet and exercise about 3-4 times a week.

YOUR CITIES

Favorite restaurant

I love Asian food, so I’d say Nobu and Mr. Chow are my favorites in NY. Also, you can’t go wrong with Italian food at any Cipriani anywhere in the world. When I crave food from back home, I go to Casa (the name actually means “home” in Portuguese) which, in my opinion, is the best Brazilian restaurant in NY.

Best places to clothing shop in the city

I love the style of Intermix; I’m a frequent shopper there when I’m not already modeling for them! :)

Best coffee in town

Favorite places to go out at night

I love the Handy Liquor Bar, and everyone should try their cocktails made with organic cold-press juices. They’re delicious and it still feels like a detox as you indulge just a bit!

YOUR BEAUTY

Must-have skincare & body care products

My favorite body moisturizer is the blue NIVEA you’ll find in every pharmacy, but it has to be the Essentially Enriched one for extra dry skin, which is super rich. The skin stays glowy and moist long after I apply and it doesn’t disappear so easily under the skin for me like some other versions.
